You probably don’t need much introduction to the Fiat 500. After all, it’s been around since 2007 and has sold over 2 million examples. There’s almost certainly one parked at a jaunty angle in your neighbourhood, looking eye-catchingly brilliant despite bearing a decade’s worth of scars.

So it is no small matter that you are looking at an all-new one. Along with a fresh body and underpinnings it has new propulsion, with power for the New 500 coming from a 42kWh lithium-ion battery that powers a 117bhp electric motor.

The range is 199 miles and initially goes on sale as the limited edition la Prima convertible and hatchback.

Ginny Buckley tests the new Cabrio version and wonders if it'll be 2021's star electric car. And you can see how the hard top version stacks up against the Mini Electric in our group test video.
